You don’t need garlic and onions to have a ridiculously tasty beef stew! This easy slow cooker beef stew uses a few pantry staples to add a flavor punch that’s perfect on a chilly fall night.

When people hear that our son is allergic to garlic, their first reaction is almost always pity. “Oh, garlic is SO GOOD, how can you stand it?!?!?” Don’t get me wrong, garlic is a tricky allergy. It’s not even required to be listed on an ingredient label, so grocery shopping can be an exercise in futility. But in all honesty, it hasn’t been as bad as we feared. In fact, it’s encouraged me to get more creative in the kitchen with flavorings.

Unpopular opinion: you don’t NEED garlic. In anything. Except maybe garlic bread.
Case in point: this easy slow cooker beef stew. This recipe literally involves chopping some stuff, throwing said stuff into your slow cooker, turning it on, and walking away for 5-7 hours. There is no garlic or onion in this recipe, but it is not short on flavor! And there’s a good chance you have everything you need for this stew in your pantry, except for probably the stew meat.
Recipe Notes
This recipe is pretty low maintenance. You don’t need to brown the meat in advance, or prep anything ahead of time. If you really wanted to, you could even swap in those tiny bite-sized potatoes and baby carrots and not even chop them up. Our grocery store sells pre-chopped carrots and celery, which would save you even more time!

All slow cookers are different, so your cooking time might vary from mine. In my slow cooker, this beef stew cooks on high for about 5 1/2 hours, or on low for about 7-8 hours. But it also depends on how large or small your chunks are, and whether or not your partner picked up the lid several times to “check on things.” The stew is done when you can pierce the potato chunks easily with a fork, and the meat is tender and falling apart slightly.
I hate stews that really should be called soups because there is so much liquid. This beef stew should give off enough liquid as it cooks to form a thick sauce on its own. If your stew feels a bit dry at the end, you can add a 1/4 cup of safe beef broth, additional diced tomatoes with juice, or even a touch of water with the green peas just to loosen things up.
Making Easy Slow Cooker Beef Stew Allergy-Friendly for You!
As written, this recipe is dairy free, gluten free, garlic free, and Top 9 allergen free. The ingredients are fairly simple, so there really isn’t too much more that you can change. You can substitute a different kind of vinegar for the balsamic, or leave it out completely. My husband can’t have beans, but he is okay with peas. If you’re not okay with peas, feel free to just leave them out along with anything else that isn’t safe for you.
